if i have my way...

Sometimes I get a bee in my bonnet. Sometimes those bees take up my time. Other times those bees take my money. Usually they take both.


I'm feeling the need for wallpaper.


Which leads to new flooring and baseboards and paint and ... well you can see where I might end up and who has the time and money for that.

Sometimes doing nothing is the best therapy.

Candy Shops & Bakeries

Gilbert is in desperate need of candy shops and bakeries - a Nordstrom and Crate & Barrel wouldn't hurt either... baby steps people.



And being the sugar loving, tasty treating, lover of all things deliciousness that I am (I inherited the gene - it's really not my fault) I sometimes dream about sweet stuff.



Which leads me to this place...because I don't even know if I could have dreamt up something this amazing.





Can you believe it?



Visit Sweets Indeed and enter into a visual sugar coma.

What's not to love about Tuesdays?




Particularly when this place has a


delicious martes lunch special that calls my name




And 200 of my closest friends at exactly the same time = long line but worth it

Upgrade - Redo - Start Over

been upgrading my blog, my hair-do and my laundry routine...


more changes coming soon to my real life.


In the meantime - read the article YOU HAVE SUPERPOWERS for a little inspiration.





Everyone needs a few of those.

I should be _________

Ever have one of those nights when you should be ______________ but instead you are _________ ? Let me give you a "for instance"...


Tonight I should be folding laundry but instead I'm blogging.

Today I should have been cleaning up my kitchen but instead I was swimming.

This morning I should have been working out but instead I was dreaming about Sweet Tooth Fairy cupcakes.


Tomorrow I should get my oil changed and my car washed but I think instead I will read a book.


I JUST LOVE SUMMER!!! It gives me a license to put off the necessary and to make time for slacking. I've got that "I can just do it tomorrow" attitude. And it feels GREAT!
